This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition CURB THE 'PLANNING REVOLUTION' & FIND ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS TO HOUSING CRISIS
The planning reforms will exacerbate vs solve the housing crisis while destroying countryside&communities.So:
1.Acknowledge&address root causes of housing crisis
2.Implement alternative solutions before ‘build build build’
3.Where building is required,plan for people&planet vs profit&politics
More details
I started this petition because of disregard for legitimate concerns as countryside is lost to concrete, communities disappear into urban sprawl & residents face shoddy new builds, a fight for resources & flooding. Especially when housing supply isn't necessarily the problem - affordability & accessibility is. And 'build build build' isn't necessarily the answer when better use of existing stock, controlled rents & deterring foreign investors could have greater impact on the housing crisis.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you're concerned about planning, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, such as what you mean by 'alternative solutions' and what you'd like to see happen to 'plan for people&planet vs profit&politics'
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
